RE Midland bottlenecks will result if the M42 Curdworth ■ elby Magna motorway is built with two lanes and not three, ; a pro-motorway pressure group.
?..wis Stretch of the Midland Road Development Group said: e bottlenecks on the two-lane sections of the M5 and MI are )rioils all over the country. The section of the M42 will be • :.tly the same."
eadded: "This motorway is better than nothing, but it is cal of the cheeseparing policy of the Government."
L addition, the group feels the motorway should be longer. "It ild be built from the M6 to the Ml. It is ridiculous to end it at undabout in Appelby Magna."
Pork on the 13-mile motorway section should begin next r, but the group feels that the DTp should at least build wider ges on the route to allow for future widening. Er Stretch said: "We have suggested that larger bridges be 1. The narrow bridges on the M5 have proved to be the major mback in widening that motorway."
